Igor Zotov, Russian MP, chairman of the Russian Pensioners' Party, believes it is necessary to impose the ban on same-sex marriage in the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

Izvestiya daily reports, the above mentioned deputy believes that same-sex marriage is one of the main threats to the Russian statehood cause it "brings with it the destruction of the family". Traditional Russian values, according to him, can not withstand the pressure from the West, taking into consideration the legalization of gay-marriages in many countries around the world.

The constitutional ban on same-sex marriages is to be another brick be laid in the foundation of the powerful Russian state. Western "homosexual love" attack might be stopped by the new redaction of the Art. 38 par. 1 of the Russian Constitution: "1. Motherhood and childhood, family and marriage as a free union of a man and a woman, are under the state protection".

For reference: In December 2013 one of the authors of the Russian Constitution - Sergey Shakhray, nowadays a high-ranking official, regretted that the ban on same-sex marriage had not been approved 20 years ago. "If I (a Cossack from Terek) knew than that someone would imagine this (gay-marriages), then I would wrote that the marriage was a union of a man and a woman...", he said.

"In order to file a law-draft for consideration of the State Duma deputies it is necessary that no less than 90 deputies would sign this petition. We have already started the collection of signatures, we have support", Izvestiya daily cites Zotov as saying.

"...I am proud that I have two sons. And these "same-sex" people, what are they proud of? If you have such a susceptibility then shut yourselves in houses, wrap in blankets that no one would see you!", stressed Zotov during the radio program on "Kommersant FM".
